Isekai no mahou gengo ga doumitemo nihongo dattaken Chapter 5– A MOTHER’S LOVE, A FATHER’S RECOGNITION (2)

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Gerald?”“Umm&h.e.l.lip;”

“Mother, Father&h.e.l.lip;you’re not afraid?”

Anyone could tell that I was uneasy. My parents expressions, which had been filled with laughter, immediately became concerned.

“Scared? Of what?”

I lowered my eyes in response.

As soon as I first used magic, I ran shouting to my parents like a child. After calming down, however, I doubted the wisdom of my actions. It may not have been the best idea to let them know I could use magic.

No ordinary commoner could use magic; they wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn how. In fact, only a fraction of the upper cla.s.s could.

If a commoner were to be thrown into the world of the rich and powerful, they would probably be rejected due to their inferior social standing. In the same way, as a magician, commoners might distance themselves from them. Mother and Father might also be frightened of the power I possess.

In that case&h.e.l.lip;I wonder if I’ll be treated as if I was a cancerous tumor&h.e.l.lip;just like I was in my past life&h.e.l.lip; I was filled with anxiety and despair. Yet, Mother, who may have seen through my feelings, gently called out to me.

“Hey, Gerald-chan. Listen.”

“&h.e.l.lip;ok.”

“To me, magic is a terrifying and dangerous thing.”

&h.e.l.lip;she’s probably going to say that she’s afraid. She’ll probably tell me, with her sweet loving voice, that she’s afraid of me.

My hands balled into fists.

Nevertheless&h.e.l.lip;

“Even so, we wouldn’t be afraid of Gerald-chan.”

“Your mother’s right.”

Father raised his voice in agreement.

Wait&h.e.l.lip;what?

“You’re not&h.e.l.lip;afraid? I would be. If there was a person who was much stronger than me, I wouldn’t want to be near them.”

“Yes, I think I would too.”

“Then, why?”

My voice wavered. Mother tenderly smiled and said,

“Because Gerald-chan is our child.”

“Ack, didn’t I say not to add chan?”

“Gerald-chan, if you’re going to hide your embarra.s.sment, at least give us the satisfaction of blus.h.i.+ng.”

“Father too?!”

Mother and Father burst into giggles.

“And, what do you want to do, Gerald?”

“Me?”

“So, are you interested in magic? Do you want to be a magician? Most importantly, do you want to master many different spells?”

“Well&h.e.l.lip;”

I want to, obviously.

I loved books in my past life. I loved the stories they told. Manga. Light novels. Games. They were always by my side. I often fantasized about the many worlds they depicted.

It’s impossible for me not to jump in joy using magic.

It’s impossible for me not to aspire to be magician.

“Definitely. I want to learn more magic. I want to be able to cast hundreds lots of spells.”

“Is that so&h.e.l.lip;”

Father narrowed his eyes and started patting my head.

“Huh?!”

“I thought you would say that. As expected of our son.”

“Umm&h.e.l.lip;Father?”

I was perplexed. As Father continued to energetically ruffle my hair, my head was knocked about making me a little dizzy. Before long, Father stopped and said,

“Gerald. I’m giving this grimoire to you,”

and held out the grimoire he still had in his hands.

“&h.e.l.lip;is that ok?”

“I believe that books exist for the reader. So, I suppose this grimoire exists for you. Don’t you think?”

Father faced me with a smile. It made me feel all warm and fluffy. I can proudly say that my parents are the best parents in the world.

Father gave me his recognition and Mother easily accepted me, who had unexpectedly become a magician. Without a doubt, despite my magic, I felt that my parents were far more amazing than me.
